Algorithms for Fun

We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular.

Learning Practical Applications:

We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications.

The challenge is not to write complex algorithms but to write simple algorithms for complex problems.

Although it's not a programming group, you can bring your laptop to try these algos. No language barriers.

No pre-requisite required.

-- No flake policy: two strikes. Please respect your fellow presenters efforts.
